russia over four years ago. hello and welcome to our team this one's down karen taraji broadcasting to you live from moscow where it's three o'clock now the situation in mali while leader of the last bastion of chordal gadhafi supporters in libya is said to be fast approaching a humanitarian catastrophe all supply routes to the city reportedly shelled by gas filled bombs remain cut off leaving locals crying out for international rescue archies middle east correspondent paula slayer reports and you may find some of the pictures disturbing. the siege of bani walid has been on the go for almost three weeks now and in the last week alone dozens of people have been killed and injured in the clashes between pro-government forces and bani walid fighters there are reports circulating that quoting

a libyan militia leader who says that the situation is under control and that the city has been cleared of gadhafi loyalists we are hearing the opposite from our sources on the ground they say that the situation is deteriorating by the minute we've also been receiving as of yet verified photographs and videos that show dead dismembered bodies as well as slain children and also the alleged use of chemical weaponry and we are hearing from doctors on the scene as well as i witness on the ground that many people are suffering from toxic gas poisoning and this doesn't line up with as of yet unconfirmed reports we've been receiving of the gas shells being fired at the local population are using machinery to do more than you. know because you guys are going to just a few people going to know. we would know you wanted to know one of.

our family. is going to make it work that. no one can stop them. and limited. well for many libyans since the former libyan leader moammar gadhafi was slain their lives have not changed anything for some it has deteriorated we are hearing from a number of people on the ground who say that for all his faults the one thing that gadhafi did bring the country was stability and there are a lot in parallels that are not being made between his regime and the current reign gadhafi for example was charged with using chemical weapons we are hearing the same kind of charges being made at the ruling regime at the same time good. duffy was embroiled in mass executions we've been hearing from human rights watch of exposé days of atrocities as well as we look quine's that have been carried out separate to this we're also hearing reports of double standards from many in the

international community people saying that on the one hand the waste is quick to criticize the regime of the syrian president bashar assad like they did with that of gadhafi but when you see the same kind of atrocities being carried out now in bani walid the international community is quiet so this is raising alarm bells russia's diplomatic efforts to end the bloodshed in bani walid remained blocked with the u.s. blocking moscow's draft proposal for a peaceful resolution at the u.n. security council the details from our new york correspondent maria marina. the u.s. and western countries did not back the russian drafted press statement they said that they were they cited the need for further consultations now the russian envoy to the un vitaly churkin says in the aftermath of last month's deadly attack in benghazi that killed four americans it's quite surprising that the u.s. would be blocking a statement that is condemning the use of violence in dealing with libya's

political problems. says it's very strange and the behavior of the u.s. delegation with respect to the russian. press statement in this situation is hard to rationally explain now this russian security council press statement on bani walid expressed grave concern about the escalation of violence in and around the city particularly the reports of growing civilian casualties including children the statement also called the living authorities to take urgent steps to resolve the conflict by peaceful means and to preserve the rights of all libyan citizens in the statement also stressed the need to promote national reconciliation inclusive political dialogue in libya it was quite surprising to many of us journalists that were at the u.n. stakeout to find that there was no agreement made on this this russian draft press statement that essentially condemns this violence violence that began in the beginning of october and we see is escalating but these conversations will clearly

continue in the days to come. professor and political analyst from hong kong city university believes the u.n. smacks of double standards. it is certainly a case of hypocrisy and that will stand. whatever one's assessments of the motivations of russia the concern full of humanitarian is i'm obviously a court that arche. national interests and big united states influence in. the united states certainly believes. it is very much in this or you know pocket of the united states and its major nato allies to usurp the new wants to be in full control of the libyan situation. and oil interests one of the considerations and it does not want to see intervention

interferences from other countries especially from russia. while the duel between barack obama and mitt romney still fall on line in the u.s. third party candidates for the presidency barely get a mention but this channel has offered them a platform by broadcasting a live debate between the alternative names on of that first ballot get into care has been listening in. the four alternative candidates who were debating this tuesday night in chicago did raise a number of issues that were never even touched upon in the debates between mitt romney and barack obama there was a lot of critique of course they discuss money in politics their claim is that washington was bought and paid for by special interests they discuss the indefinite detention of americans see as the president obama signed something that the two party candidates never talked about during the major debates and here is joel stein where marks on the issues she is the nominee from the green party and. the trail of our civil liberties that the president has assumed dictatorial rights to put

us in prison at his leisure without charge or without trial among other things sweeping powers of the patriot act also something that you don't hear much about in the mainstream media the crackdown on whistleblowers by the obama administration and of course the military judging by their remarks he could very well understand why there are outsiders in this election all of them were saying the u.s. should stop military intervention and all of them do not see much difference between barack obama and mitt romney especially on foreign policy take a listen we're going to find ourselves with the continued heightened police state in this country we're going to find ourselves continuing to militarily intervene in the world which result has resulted in hundreds of millions of enemies to this country that wouldn't otherwise exist we know the republican democrats some differences but both of them morphed into a square produced anti-democratic force that has betrayed the

human and civil rights these candidates are going to be on balance but not in all states they were also talking about how hard it is for an independent candidate to get on those ballots in the u.s. that every state has its own intricate rules lots of signatures and that essentially it requires a lot of money to get on the ballots and all of these candidates know they don't stand a chance to win this election but as larry king the moderator of this debate said their voices in it may not be counted on november the sixth but they deserve to be heard. r.t. host tom hartman took part in the key event he says third party candidates will continue to be barred from the big picture until they start pounder ing to corporate interests the seizure of constitutional rights. the right to not be snooped upon the right to not be arrested and held without charges that the right to be. to not be killed with without due process of law

these are all things that largely started out of the bush administration had been continued by the obama administration and the and it was virtually unanimous consent across the group that they were opposed to so you see a far a lot in the far right ninety than most of them but they don't out that the moneyed interests there have any advertising going to lose the election if we were to structurally change the electoral system in the united states if we were to require the media to carry free fair and open debates if we were to publicly funded candidates if we were to ban political advertising these are things that are done in many of the major a democracy and so the world right now then i think it would be possible for these third party candidates to be remain true to their values and. have you know a successful electoral effort but as long as the state of the our us supreme court

continues to assert that money its is the same thing as speech that it's not property and corporations are not legal fictions that they're actually people it's going to be damn ard. all right time now for some other world news for you in brief this hour the u.s. says it's sacking lebanese efforts to form a new coalition government amid rising tension in the country similarly foreign policy chief catherine ashton who was speaking in the capital beirut said she was encouraged by firth's to forge a national dialogue to bring back stability meanwhile the army has reportedly brokered a cease fire in the country's northern city of tripoli after two nights of fighting there killed at least ten and wounded over sixty people security is high in the country after a violent clashes between police and protesters are ruptured last week over the killing of a top intelligence official. russia's top general says moscow has reliable

information that syrian rebels have anti-aircraft weapons including u.s. made stinger this comes as the u. an envoy locked out of what i hear me damascus and some opposition leaders have finally agreed to a cease fire during the upcoming muslim holiday of aid for the feast of sacrifice meanwhile activists in syria have posted videos online claiming to show fierce battles in the north that's where rebels are fighting to capture a base near a highway used by the government to supplies soldiers in the city of aleppo activists say some forty people were killed in the area last week. witnesses have reported two powerful explosions in gaza the blast struck the city after israeli forces killed a palestinian gunman in the latest series of airstrikes it's the second straight day of raids by israel's military tell of these claims the strikes are in response to a two dozens of rockets fired from gaza in the last month. more than eight thousand striking gold miners have been sacked in south africa after knowing

for provoking the two thousand and eight war over south the six year calling it a grand provocation he addressed directly saakashvili s m p's and said that you are to blame for the current damaged relations with russia and that the americans and europeans recognize this they did go on to say that he does still consider south asserted to be part of georgia saying that russia has tried to take control of our territory for centuries but that you provoke them and that they know or keep our learned but he was hopeful for the future saying that he hoped perhaps not to morrow perhaps not the day after to morrow but eventually that the status of abkhazia and south would set you could be agreed upon and that by the late relay. sions with russia could be normalized because the casualty figures for the august two thousand and eight war vary from the hundreds to the thousands it started when

georgian troops entered the territory of south the six years and russia responded to push them out at the time there were russian claims that georgian troops committed genocide against the city and civilians. well certainly some very interesting developments and shocking statements coming from the leader of georgia's newly elected ruling party thank you r.t. some are live from moscow. now in the u.k. trade unions have warned of massive industrial unrest if a two year pay freeze in the health care system is extended the authorities claim any rise in these difficult economic times to simply an affordable but it walk out would add to the wells of the national health services which is probably boyko now reports it's already losing the trust of the people. you're. clearly in agony but in supposedly safe hands in hospital that's what janine harvey's sister store when she came down with severe hit pain last december despite over forty

visits to doctors in three different hospitals janine cervical cancer went on diagnosed rhyming in city hospital doctors here failed to spot janine harvey's cancer not once but twice all the hospitals missed it too exposing parts of the barrier but let's have the death of the thirty three year old mother of four just months later her family now say they want to name a story to be heard so that others can avoid a similar traits at one point dr even suggested that jeanine's excruciating pain was all in her mind but her post-mortem examination showed that a cancerous tumor had grown so large inside her that it had shattered her pelvic bone janine's family gets upset when people ask why they didn't pay for costly private care they say britain's national health service was once the pride of

britain but their trust in it has broken you know. so amazing with all the resources that you know. we have made to go private we felt we trusted we trusted to every word janine isn't the only patient to be failed by the n.h.s. somewhere around sixty percent of deaths in hospitals. something else happen but potentially was avoidable and has potentially contributed to that there so it's a it's a big number of people that's one thousand patients a month a recent study by the national institute of health research says that one patient in ten is affected by potentially serious medical errors half of whom die as a. result such as twenty two year old kane gorney he died from dehydration from a combination of misdiagnosis and what the coroner called the incompetence of

n.h.s. staff it's definitely a problem that patients are repeatedly coming to us with. reporting failure is a similar nature to that which happened to janine harvey the n.h.s. trust responsible for janine's care says we are extremely sorry for any distress caused to the family we can understand the need for says and this is what our internal investigation process is about examining what lessons there are to be learnt and making changes if there's anything that needs to be changed janine's family are now turning their tragedy into forming a charity to give other people with complicated medical conditions a chance to get a second medical opinion privately before it's too late it's impossible for so many individual consultants to to make so many errors it must be the sister it must be some major major or the lack of communication to negligence is leaving

someone you know whether bed all knowing it's all i can think of any other word for . months long term it was it was. just janine harvey's family say they can only hope that lessons will be learned and that no one else ever suffers the same way. polly boyko r t london. thousands of protesters have yet again packed the streets of madrid their message they can handle any more crippling austerity that comes as the government draws up its budget for next year and has already warned of more cuts parties are in a ghost to reports. projects like this one are becoming something of a regularity and spray in. that's we're being told told by people here that there are over eighty protests happening in madrid alone so there are hundreds happening all over the country now spain yours are highly dissatisfied with the way their

government has been dealing with trying to solve the financial crisis in the country they're saying that the representatives who are sitting in the parliament are not representing the people who are standing here at their problems are not being even thought about in the parliament now what are these people worried about they're worried about the social programs first and foremost health care education aid for the elderly they are also worried about the fact that spain has one of the highest unemployment rates in the european union which is about twenty five percent it has the highest youth unemployment rate which is that over fifty percent right now now the international agency moody's has downgraded four of spain's regions including catalonia which is the richest regions in spain considering the fact that the country is going through its second recession in three years and with this downgrade right now with the central bank saying that spain's economy is shrinking and again with the unemployment going up we can we can assume that it's not long before spain is going to officially ask for a bailout it hasn't done that yet so there is no nothing definite no different from

ation but it does seem like spain is edging closer towards that point. and you can log on to our team down com to find out more about spain's budget plans which truth funnels on to the streets of madrid last night we've also got the pictures from the thronging masses in respect of capital. plus blasting off to space with goldfish check out our firsthand report on the new i.f.'s mission to lift off and learn about some of the personating terms kegel for the next shift in orbit. of the meter is next with business news and dmitri global's rating giants like standard and poor's are about to face more competition on the market that's right and russian companies are among those pooling in to create this new raisings agency it's a. to be completely independent of any national corporate interest. explains. there are only three credit ratings agencies with global reach moody's standard and

poor's and fitch and they are all american and some would say subject to the same kinds of wall street bias all three have had a bad financial crisis failing to predict in two thousand and eight the imminent downturn at the time they were giving the highest possible credit rating to securities associated with the u.s. housing market prompted the crisis they also failed to spot what was going on in iceland shortly before it collapsed and as recently as two thousand and noid moody's was saying that investor can sense about greece perhaps misplaced but despite this less than stellar track record a new global agency is not going to have it all its own way it will need to establish its own credibility and this can only be done by showing long term accurate and reliable analysis and that is going to take some time. nick pool reporting than the chairman of m.d.m. bank a leg of you can says this new agency could revolutionize the way ratings are handed

out and make it more efficient and reliable. do you have to the problem of rating agencies is that the money they make comes from the companies they rate and that could lead to a conflict of interests but i think the idea is to create an agency that will get funding elsewhere ideally agencies should be paid by the ones who are interested in the credit worthiness of their potential investments in that case the rating will be less prejudiced. or a second ago is happening on the markets this hour and bit by bit the russian markets are moving to wards gains of course are two years gaining half a percent of the news in more than two in the previous session most interesting stocks still ross their tent here in k.b. p. they're both up with rosneft up around five percent and that's the spike the fact that moody's credit agency speaking of which actually said that it's putting ross now on a review potentially with

a downgrade because of new risks connected with its new size after buying. over in europe we've had the index of activity and confidence p.m.i. going down very sharply more than the more than there has done in the past three and a half years to around forty five points and that's been limiting gains over in europe well the on companies such as s a p which is reported very good results automotive sector troubles are also chilling investors for both dropping seven percent at one point and over on the currencies market we're seeing the euro on the back of that here made here my date's going down to fifty two points second day of losses for the euro a huge drop around two weeks actually that's been gaining and the russian rubles finally regaining some value against the basket of currencies. right coming up next on the we have the latest round of u.s. presidential hopefuls debate is up for debate itself in crosstalk.
